X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host() is a fundamental and essential piece in
the new hostname verification code. I cannot replace
ssl.match_hostname() easily without the API. There might be a way to add
a callback, but it would take a couple of days of R&D to implement it.
It won't be finished for beta1 feature freeze.
